Beethoven for Bangers

A German organic sausage maker is playing classical music to his bangers to improve the quality.

The Tegut nature food company employs a string quartet playing Mozart & Beethoven to the sausages on Monday mornings.

Boss Wolfgang Gutberlet says the soothing music makes the meat taste even better. "We know that you can't prove this scientifically but are convinced that the harmonic melodies do influence the ripening process," he said. "Similar experiments have already been carried out in wine-growing."
